Well, Bill O'Reilly is now resorting to responding to peoples' youtube videos about him in order to generate content for the
O'Reilly Factor. While I would've liked to see the entire "discussion" that O'Reilly had with the child advocate, but I doubt any of it related to video games.
Faith covered the original bit on this earlier , so check it out for the whole story.
Sadly, this really isn't even worth going into for something like Weekend Reading, since everyone who reads this site knows that video games don't cause violence. I suggest Summa goes on O'Reilly defending video games. I would love to see the two of them duke it out. I'd actually watch it. Check out the girl's original video after the jump.
Oh, and my favorite quote from GamePolitics' comments:
"I must say, that was the most adorable response to an O’Reilly argument in the history of responses to an idiot. This video, however, was also the stupidest response in the history of an idiot arguing with a child." - noman

However, no one is allowed to agree with anything O'Reilly says, so... OMG MOR O'RILLY BULLSHT LOL!
You know, FAR worse things happen to children every day, but I don't see Bill O'Reilly offering any assistance or sympathy to them. OO HE'S AN ASS. My two least favorite people on the planet...Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, that fat fuck. ANYWAY, I'm done.
Because he's a Biased SOB thats why... oh wait, thats not news to you all?
Second, these same fanatics (often religious) don't have any trouble conditioning their kids to hate gays or fear "thugs" (AKA non-whites). Anyone who wants to see actual child abuse in the name of religion needs to rent Jesus Camp.
Also, how can O'Reilly expect to be taken seriously when he opens his segment with a screenshot of the Terminator and calls this commentary "Rise of the Machines?"
Finally, how many children in Iraq have been killed by the neo-cons and how many children in THIS nation could have been assisted by the $500 billion we've flushed away in Iraq?
We're up to our necks in carnage in the Middle East and Bill O'Reilly is bitching about YouTube, MySpace, the rise of cyborgs from the future, and Pac Man.
What a tool.
that's funny.
they can both suck my dick.
That's the neo-cons acknowledging their base consists of McVeighs, crusaders, and abortion clininc bombers.
(Wendy Murphy raises eyebrows).
ASS!
(Wendy Murphy raises eyebrows).
i personally would surely be less ashamed when i'm grown up for being the star in such a web-video than having my picture in a pr-campaign for some conservative prick.
@hovercraft - they can both suck my dick: they definitely can't do mine, i mean, i still have some values and don't let just anyone suck me...
Brainwashing? Nah.
Clever advertising? Yep.
Liked the video.
Then in response, somebody out there dresses their child up and gets her to read a rather disturbing diatribe attacking the religious right in our country. The true problem with all of this is that due to the youth of America, or at least those of us between 18-30 not actually ever voting, the people who set the standards for our country are those religious folks.
So instead of handing the so called moral majority even more ammunition, perhaps another tack is needed to debate these topics. We as gamers seem more than willing to feed the stereotypes they feed on, just look at all of the violence that occurred with the PS3 launch. You really think the people who truly call the shots will ever take a gamer, much less a non-voter's positions seriosuly? Perhaps another approach is needed.
fuckin hate hypocrates
Gain some balance, people.
anyway, both sides (if you can call them that) are way off base. I wish that this parent(s) would show more restraint on what they expose the daughter to. Its this shit that causes unnecessary exposure and crackdowns to stuff i'd rather not lose.
i doubt any 'parent' on here actually agrees with what these people did.
Why would it be more acceptable to see a girl saying "if you accept Jesus into your heart you will go to heaven when you die" than it is to see one saying "religion has caused the genocide of nations"? Hell, at least we KNOW the second statement is true. If she was my kid, I wouldn't raise a daughter of mine like this, I'd let her enjoy her childhood and leave political shit for when she's older, but all in all, the only reason this is in any way "shocking" is because it doesn't fit with the happy christian views Fox endorses. This just goes to show that right wingers aren't the only ones who can force their kids to spout off their views, and until christians stop insisting on forcing their children to accept religion, any of them that criticize this video is a hypocrite.
Fucktards.
